Help us open the doors to updated research laboratories, an inspiring new aquarium, and fully accessible grounds. 

Since its construction in 1929, the Sage building has served our community as a hub of learning and connection. The Aquarium, Laboratories, and Grounds (AL-G) project will create spaces that students, scientists, and visitors from Sitka and beyond will use to build a deeper understanding of our world. Bring coastal Alaska into the next century of science research and education with a donation to the AL-G project.

Phase 1:

• Expand the Sage building’s research capabilities with state-of-the-art laboratories and updated infrastructure.

Phase 2:

• Honor the Sage building’s historic character with a refined interior. Create comfortable and functional spaces for students and community members.

Phase 3:

• Take a deep dive into an aquarium transformation that reflects the true expansiveness of the ocean.

Phase 4:

• Maximize the potential of our grounds for uses ranging from class visits to scientific research.
